Filling a Transport Package with Content 

Use

You must first fill a transport package with content objects. You can then export it.

Prerequisites

You created a transport package and are editing it in the Portal Content Studio.

Procedure

...

       1.      Add content objects to the package. You can add objects to a package in the following ways:

¡        You can add individual objects. In the Portal Catalog, click on the object and with the secondary mouse button choose Add <Object> to Transport Package.

¡        You can add entire folder hierarchies with the objects they contain. To do so, click on a folder of a given hierarchy level in the Portal Catalog and choose Add all objects to transport package with the secondary mouse button.

¡        You can add a folder without including the underlying objects. To do so, click on a folder in the Portal Catalog and choose Add object to transport package with the secondary mouse button.

You can also add existing packages to a package and export them.

       2.      With the Remove function you can remove content objects from the package.

       3.      With the Properties function you can display the properties of objects you added to the package.

       4.      With the Object Preview function, you can display the corresponding portal view for pages and iViews.

       5.      If you want to include dependent objects in the export (for example, all objects in a role and their source objects), select Include all objects on which the exported objects depend. By default, dependent objects are not included. If you want to include dependent objects in the export, you can use a filter to determine that only objects that, for example, belong to a certain namespace should be exported. If the package has a namespace prefix, it is automatically entered here.

Note that the dependent PAR archive is not included when you export iViews. See also Packaging of Portal Transport Archives.

       6.      With the arrow icons  you can also sort the object list by object name and object type.

       7.      With the  icon, you can select or deselect objects.

       8.      After the export, you can check the package properties again and change them if necessary. See also Maintaining Properties of a Transport Package.

       9.      Save the package with the corresponding contents.

Note that you can only export language packages. Language packages only contain text, and no objects. For more information see Performing Language Transports.

Result

Your transport package is ready. With the Export function, you go to the Export Preview, where you can again check the objects to be exported. The Export pushbutton is at the top of the Export Editor.

From the dropdown list to the right of the Export function, you can also call the Permission Editor to assign permissions for the export package. See also Portal Permissions.
